help me to use the browser!

I just simply need it to maximize.

I'm not too tech savvy. The only thing I tried was to reinstall Firefox which did not help.

I've recently swapped to Firefox from Chrome and I've noticed a huge hindrance.

I use a chatroom website and when I swap to the tab and begin to type, the first letter is randomly eaten/won't be entered into the text field.

For instance I was typing the word "What" and the text field only displayed "hat". Or when typing "Either" only "ither" appeared.

I thought this may have been related to a hardware acceleration issue but both settings did not work. So I started to look at Hotkeys but none of them should be interfering.

Some others have stated they have this issue too and I've been unable to find any solution. Any help?

Punch through bug causes activation of a lower layer object instead of the visible object. Textbox can move to evade text input. Most prominent on facebook, probably poor programming on their part, maybe to a non complied (by other browsers) standard. 2 very annoying, problem bugs

Screenshot 1 is from a podcast where tapping pause or skip can unexpectedly activate the episode behind the floating bar, leaving the desired episode. This could be improper markup or style on the part of talkstreamlive dot com or a Firefox flaw. Screenshot 2 is from the bug ridden kingdom of Facebook. Entering a comment or reply can be a nightmare. I workaround using the address bar for scratch then cutting, returning if facebook doesn't leave, and pasting, avoiding the squirrelly behavior avoiding input attempts. This is almost certainly their fault, IMHO. Perhaps Mr. Selfenfull could benefit from some guidance. The comment textbox floats above the previous comments by others, appears to be related, and may after all be a Firefox bug. Desktop Firefox has no problem. Thanks and good luck.

Hi!

Just thought I'd report this because it appears to be a consistent, reasonably long-standing issue (months) on a popular news site. Or is it "just me"?

Website: https://www.selfgem.com/en/products/tooth-gem-kits

Expected behaviour: I am able to open links and download files on this website as backround tabs and continue browsing.

Actual behaviour: 1. After a couple are opened, Firefox for Android hangs for very close to 30 seconds then does a deep redraw/repaint of all tabs and continues to function until I next try to open another background tab from that website. 2. During the hang tab interface continues to redraw, but the pages are not repainted and no taps events work. 3. At the end of this hang time, the pages appear to redraw from scratch and the context pop-up for the third long-press appears on top of whichever tab I was looking at.

It is 100% repro for me -- long-press fails when attempting to open the 3rd background tab, but repaint failure occurs earlier. There is something toxic happening.

Curiously, when I next view my Android Home screen, there is some sort deep refresh/repaint, as if it has been swapped-out or GC'd etc.

e.g. Is there some massive memory blow-out happening?

Context/workarounds: 1. I have tried clearing all browsing data and using a guess account on the phone. 2. I have no addons installed. 3. Neither Chrome nor FF Desktop exhibit this behavior. This is FF Android specific

Thanks!

been having issues with files lately. i can dl a file and open the folder. if i try to open the file from the browser or the folder directly, the browser window will freeze. additional browser windows are still functional. how do i fix this? no files will open even in safe mode.

The previous update I installed three weeks ago has slowed the performance by 80%. Are you aware of this? Is there a plan to fix it? Every page loaded or every switch between tabs takes 10secs. If it doesn’t improve I will leave Firefox for the first time in 20yrs.

when i open firefox (including opening a new tab) my CPU peaks at 100% on all cores for a few seconds. this is without any pages loading and without many heavy extensions (all i have is malwarebytes and dashlane)
